Walk into any home and you are sure to find at least one table, with most having closer to three or four. Whether you are looking to fully furnish your home or simply redecorate it is important to figure out exactly what you want and need prior to seeking out options. With the large variety of table choices available in both retail stores and online, one must determine the primary purpose the table will serve and how it is going to be used. Another key component to take into consideration before picking out a new table is to decide where it will go in your home; how much space have you allotted for this new piece of furniture? Most importantly, you must be able to differentiate between all the different tables that are available for homes including dining tables, coffee tables, end tables, telephone tables, and foyer tables.

A foyer table, also commonly known as an entryway table, is likely to be the first piece of furniture that is looked at by both guests and residents of the house. It is the one place that more people notice first as they enter your house and the last thing they see before they leave. This piece of furniture is the piece that makes the biggest statement and is a great place to show off your unique style. It has the unique ability to make the entry way seem a lot larger than it is in reality, as long as the table is not too large or overbearing. A foyer table can be placed up against a wall or can be a decorative standalone piece, near a stairway for example. It is best to place some sort of decorative piece on top the foyer table to give it some flair such as an arrangement or even a fresh vase of flowers.
